Hi, I am new to this list. I am looking for parents, siblings, relatives and/or any information about RobertPartin and his wife Margarett Hayle Partin. I have read that they are of Scottish background, but were born in England in 1587/1588; marriage place and date unknown. Robert Partin left for English colonies on the ship Blessing in 1609; Margarett Hayle Partin followed on the ship George in1617. A servant, Thomas Hale came with Margaret when she sailed. I am not sure if he is related with a variation in spelling or just a similar surname. This is the first Robert PARTIN to settle in the English colonies. The family is well documented after Robert and Margarette settled in US. I have that information. I am interested in information on this family and other 's with same surname BEFORE saling and settlement in the American colonies. I have searched Ancestry.com and Scots and English Origins.net and with some kind help have England's 2001 Electoral Directory listing on all Parton, Partin and Hayle surnames and addresses. The information found in LDS data is information on the family after they settled in the American colonies. Any information, clues or knowledge of other's who have searched PARTIN, PARTON, and HAYLE surnames before 1609 and in locations other than the United States would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
